entre el tren 3 de cometas 2 y el módulo 5. En tal caso, por ello, el número de componentes de los módulos 5 que dirigen o guardan las cuerdas 4 se reduce, lo que simplifica en gran medida la estructura del sistema eólico 1. between kite train 3 and module 5. In this case, therefore, the number of components of the modules 5 that direct or store the ropes 4 is reduced, which greatly simplifies the structure of the wind system 1.

Más abajo en la presente, se hará referencia simplemente al caso en el cual, en el sistema eólico 1 de acuerdo con la presente invención, la dirección de las cometas 2 tiene lugar por medio de un par de cuerdas 4. Para cada componente del sistema eólico 1 analizado en detalle más abajo, de todas formas se señalarán simplificaciones que es posible introducir en el caso del uso de una sola cuerda 4 para arrastrar cada módulo 5. Further down here, reference will simply be made to the case in which, in the wind system 1 according to the present invention, the direction of the kites 2 takes place by means of a pair of ropes 4. For each system component wind power 1 analyzed in detail below, however simplifications will be noted that can be introduced in the case of using a single rope 4 to drag each module 5.

Aun cuando limitar el número de cuerdas 4 es ventajoso desde un punto de vista aerodinámico, la solución con dos cuerdas 4, además de la mera dirección y tracción, proporciona también la posibilidad de realizar maniobras de emergencia. Dirigir en cuanto a la dirección se obtiene por lo general con una variación diferencial limitada de la longitud de las cuerdas adecuadas 4, pero si la variación diferencial de las cuerdas adecuadas 4 excede la apertura de las alas de las cometas 2, tiene lugar una situación en la cual se cancela la sustentación, definida más abajo en la presente como el "deslizamiento lateral del ala". Bajo esta condición, si se necesita un retorno rápido, es posible rebobinar rápidamente las cuerdas 4 sin desperdiciar energía. Durante tal descenso rápido, debido al efecto del deslizamiento lateral del ala, existe sin embargo el riesgo de la autorrotación de la cometa 2 con una pérdida sustancial del control. Con el objetivo de impedir tal pérdida de control, es posible proporcionar las cometas 2 con dispositivos aerodinámicos y arreglos que permiten detener fácilmente el descenso rápido una vez que se alcanza la altura deseada y restaurar correctamente el estado de vuelo normal y productivo. En las etapas de deslizamiento lateral del ala, el borde lateral de una cometa 2 se convierte en el borde de ataque y aloja tanto los instrumentos de seguimiento de la posición en el espacio tridimensional como un sistema de accionamiento y de estabilización de la maniobra de deslizamiento lateral (no mostrados en las figuras). Dicho sistema de accionamiento y de estabilización se caracteriza, por ejemplo, por flotadores direccionales y disruptores controlados por el sistema de control inteligente. Although limiting the number of ropes 4 is advantageous from an aerodynamic point of view, the solution with two ropes 4, in addition to mere steering and traction, also provides the possibility of emergency maneuvers. Direction in terms of direction is usually obtained with a limited differential variation of the length of the appropriate ropes 4, but if the differential variation of the appropriate ropes 4 exceeds the opening of the wings of the kites 2, a situation occurs in which the lift is canceled, defined below as the "lateral glide of the wing". Under this condition, if a quick return is needed, it is possible to quickly rewind the ropes 4 without wasting energy. During such a rapid descent, due to the effect of the lateral glide of the wing, there is, however, the risk of the self-rotation of kite 2 with a substantial loss of control. In order to prevent such loss of control, it is possible to provide the kites 2 with aerodynamic devices and arrangements that allow to easily stop the rapid descent once the desired height is reached and correctly restore the normal and productive flight status. In the lateral sliding stages of the wing, the lateral edge of a kite 2 becomes the leading edge and houses both the position monitoring instruments in the three-dimensional space and an actuation and stabilization system for the sliding maneuver lateral (not shown in the figures). Said drive and stabilization system is characterized, for example, by directional floats and disruptors controlled by the intelligent control system.

Bajo condiciones de vuelo normales, los flotadores direccionales son transversales a la dirección de empuje y se flexionan para ocultarlos con el objetivo de no modificar la eficiencia de la cometa 2. En deslizamiento lateral del ala, los flotadores direccionales se levantan, accionados por el flujo que aparece en la dirección correcta. Por ello los flotadores direccionales cooperan en volver a equilibrar la penetración de la cometa 2 cuando esta se usa incorrectamente en el deslizamiento lateral del ala que mejora de manera pasiva la estabilidad de las maniobras. Un arreglo de estabilización adicional se obtiene de manera activa con los/el disruptores/disruptor (ya mencionados anteriormente) colocados adecuadamente y accionados geométricamente por una lógica que usa directamente, o mediante el control en tierra, la información de los sensores de rastreo de vuelo, con el objetivo de contrarrestar la tendencia a la autorrotación. Under normal flight conditions, the directional floats are transverse to the thrust direction and flex to hide them in order not to modify the efficiency of the kite 2. In lateral gliding of the wing, the directional floats are raised, driven by the flow that appears in the right direction. Therefore, the directional floats cooperate in rebalancing the penetration of the kite 2 when it is used incorrectly in the lateral glide of the wing that passively improves the stability of the maneuvers. An additional stabilization arrangement is actively obtained with the disruptors / disruptors (already mentioned above) properly positioned and geometrically driven by logic that directly uses, or by ground control, the information of the flight tracking sensors , with the aim of counteracting the tendency to self-rotation.

El sistema de accionamiento y de estabilización de la maniobra de deslizamiento lateral permite corregir/reducir inmediatamente la altura de la cometa 2 cuando desciende y, una vez que se ha alcanzado la altura o el alargamiento deseado de las cuerdas 4, restaurar la sustentación mediante el regreso de las cuerdas 4 a una longitud diferencial compatible con el vuelo normal. The drive and stabilization system of the lateral sliding maneuver allows to immediately correct / reduce the height of the kite 2 when it descends and, once the desired height or elongation of the ropes 4 has been reached, restore the lift by means of the return of ropes 4 to a differential length compatible with normal flight.

En el sistema eólico 1 de acuerdo con la presente invención, la aplicación del sistema de accionamiento y de estabilización de la maniobra de deslizamiento lateral consiste principalmente en el desacoplamiento rápido y controlado de un área en el espacio aéreo. In the wind system 1 according to the present invention, the application of the drive and stabilization system of the lateral sliding maneuver consists mainly in the rapid and controlled decoupling of an area in the airspace.

El sistema eólico 1 de acuerdo con la presente invención comprende además al menos un sistema de recuperación 8 para las cometas 2: en la siguiente descripción, el sistema eólico 1 se describirá de acuerdo con dos modalidades preferidas, proporcionadas como un ejemplo no limitante: tales modalidades se distinguen principalmente por los modos en los que se soportan los sistemas de recuperación 8 de las cometas 2. The wind system 1 according to the present invention further comprises at least one recovery system 8 for kites 2: in the following description, the wind system 1 will be described according to two preferred embodiments, provided as a non-limiting example: such modalities are distinguished mainly by the ways in which recovery systems 8 of kites 2 are supported.

De acuerdo con una primera modalidad, el sistema eólico 1 de la presente invención comprende al menos un módulo 5 que comprende un único carro 11 cerca del cual se colocan tanto los generadores convertidores de energía 20 y/o 21 como los componentes del sistema para dirigir las cometas 2. Con referencia a las Figuras 5 a la 9, es posible observar que los sistemas de recuperación 8 se restringen a los módulos 5 del sistema eólico 1 cerca de un extremo. El peso de los sistemas de recuperación 8 se soporta mediante una estructura flexible estirada 12 compuesta de varillas de tensión 14 restringidas en un extremo de ellas a los sistemas de recuperación 8 y en el otro extremo de ellas a una estructura vertical 13, por ejemplo un enrejado, con el cual se equipa cada módulo 5. La estructura flexible estirada 12 conecta además cada módulo 5 del sistema eólico 1 con al menos dos módulos 5, posiblemente adyacentes. Al conectar entre sí los diferentes módulos 5, si falta el efecto de arrastre en un módulo 5, tal módulo 5 se arrastraría por los otros módulos 5 del sistema eólico 1 para los que está presente el efecto de arrastre. Esto permite evitar (o posiblemente retrasar) el accionamiento de los generadores 20 y/o 21 usados para producir electricidad como motores, para permitir el avance del módulo 5 y se describe en más detalle más abajo. According to a first embodiment, the wind system 1 of the present invention comprises at least one module 5 comprising a single carriage 11 near which both the energy converting generators 20 and / or 21 and the components of the steering system are placed the kites 2. With reference to Figures 5 to 9, it is possible to observe that the recovery systems 8 are restricted to the modules 5 of the wind system 1 near one end. The weight of the recovery systems 8 is supported by a flexible stretched structure 12 composed of tension rods 14 restricted at one end of them to the recovery systems 8 and at the other end of them to a vertical structure 13, for example a lattice, with which each module 5 is equipped. The stretched flexible structure 12 also connects each module 5 of the wind system 1 with at least two modules 5, possibly adjacent. When the different modules 5 are connected to each other, if the drag effect on one module 5 is missing, such module 5 would be dragged along the other modules 5 of the wind system 1 for which the drag effect is present. This allows avoiding (or possibly delaying) the operation of the generators 20 and / or 21 used to produce electricity as motors, to allow the advance of the module 5 and is described in more detail below.

De acuerdo con tal modalidad, los sistemas de recuperación 8 pueden equiparse además, por ejemplo, con ruedas amortiguadas 17 mediante las cuales se apoyan sobre los rieles secundarios 7. De tal manera, el peso de los sistemas According to this modality, the recovery systems 8 can also be equipped, for example, with dampened wheels 17 by means of which they rest on the secondary rails 7. Thus, the weight of the systems
